 Sean how much weight can you lift? It's been a long time What is this? Yeah, I know that was like three whole pounds right there. That's three whole pounds. When I was in high school I could bench press a hundred fifty pounds I don't know if that's good or bad. It's probably more than I can. I went to a high school. I didn't even have sports to sell We're gonna see how much weight a FPV freestyle drone can bench press. Let's get to it We went to Walmart. We got ourselves some three-pounders and some two-pounders and we tied them together with some fishing line And we're gonna see one at a time how many of these hand weights our drone can lift? Yeah, so originally I was just like well I'll just put a two-pound weight on here see that can fly and then I'll land then I'll put another weight But this is much more efficient way to do it. Yeah, we were in Walmart And I'm like how you gonna mount the waist to your drone zip ties. I'm like zip ties What we're gonna do today is we're gonna do two tests We're gonna do one just to see like what is the maximum weight the drone can lift? And then I'm gonna like actually strap them onto my drone and see what's the usable Oh, you're gonna try to freestyle I'm gonna see what the usable like payload of this drone is because I mean, it's just a normal five inch freestyle drone We're always trying to put a two-pounder on there and see what it can do if it rips I I predict that we're gonna get to that one and be done Where's the start though? Like what what is that one? I'm gonna start with the two-pounder And I should just be able to lift it right up and we're not too far from the cars Anyone curious this is a success drone. I'm flying. I'm not flying for us anymore, right? Yeah, you graduated to success finally so now you're a really awesome FPV pilot How are your line of sight skills? That's pretty good Yeah, like they're not like mention level but I can fly a drone around nose and everything because I did I can't from our Sweet Plains. Oh, okay. Yeah, you got it then you got this. Yes Man, yeah, you just got to have to gun it. Okay. What did I have okay? Seven you almost got nine. I got I got seven really you got seven pounds. Yeah We just 100% got seven pounds totally because if we lift that last orange one that'd be 10 pounds That would be 10 pounds. Yeah, that's crazy. It's pretty impressive compared to like the results you guys had with your seven inch Yeah, 11 pounds is all we got with the octocopter and that was eight propellers all seven inch props in a big circle That's I'm impressed. I am impressed. Those little bubby motors are powerful man I know honestly in the beginning I was just saying seven to be different from you But I was like, it's actually seven it really was seven so yeah, let's try different props now See if we can get that last so we'll be right back awesome b-roll So I guess to let you guys know what my setup is so we can kind of see like this setup gets this much power We got bubby FPV 2205 2004 KV motors and the prop is the HQ J40 cotton candy bubby edition I think those are the two most important things like that'll make the biggest difference in how much weight it can lift Yeah motors and props in the ESC if the motor can't handle it, but I think our ESCs are having problems these days Yeah, I mean T motor makes great stuff. Cool. Let's get some higher pitch props in this thing All right, so the prop that I had before was the HQ J40 which is an amazing flying prop I love it for free sale, but it is definitely on the lower pitch It's really like responsive and doesn't have like as much like power which I like for free So so these props are gonna have a little bit more surface area Which means they might have a little bit more torque because they can push more air, right? Yeah, okay in theory and try to see Yeah, we'll try and see we're not like super sciency. We're kind of just like test it Yeah, we don't ever do things a hundred percent scientific guys You just throw things at the wall and see what sticks, you know, but yeah, he's just freaking blue on your goggles That's dude. It's amazing. Yeah guys What do you guys think of my goggles? I didn't realize that was just like finger painted on there I went all out and I had custom drew an image Yeah, but see the issue is when you're flying you can't see like if someone's gonna come up to you And like try to hit you. Yeah, but I can oh I can see in their eyes Well, I got the skull protecting me You do have the skull protecting you All right, got the new props on let's go see if this gets to 10 pounds Yeah, that you just duct tape it's because I have it on there because my spoiler's not here All right, let's go ahead and try this with the new pitch your props and see I'm a little scared. I don't know why It's a little bit nerve wracking trying to balance all that stuff with it. Whoa. Yeah hit it hit it. Oh boy Oh my gosh, you totally had it for like a second it was like a foot off the ground really all 10 We're put off the ground for like a second a couple seconds I mean either way the fact that we got it means that it can technically get 10 pounds I'm gonna try it one more time. Just gonna gun it All right, here we go You you bounced it off the ground it was off the ground for like a second Okay, it's it's it got off it wasn't as good as last time it lifted 10 it lifted 10 I'd say that it confidently lifted seven and could probably comfortably lift like Eight eight and a half. We don't have like a one and a half ton weight. So we can't like test that Yeah, I mean, I think with a full throttle punch out you legitimately got 10 off the ground I think we can say 10 is the maximum number because I doubt you're gonna get another pound out of that one Yeah, oh yeah, dude, that was I was just you were like, yeah, that was just like Yeah, that's far exceeded my expectations me. I thought you were getting five pounds and that was it me too I mean just based on our past experience. That's oh, that's wild man You lifted almost as much weight as an octacopter, which is and it was seven inch props too. Yeah, which is pretty insane That's crazy. So now that we know that the maximum weight that it could just lift off the ground was 10 pounds Let's see actual usable payload. Yeah, I think I think five actually we're gonna start with three You're gonna start with three. Okay, because it's a bigger up front, but it's just one pound more It's a little different so okay. All right, let's go ahead and get that weight on the drone with zip ties You're putting it like on the middle bottom, right? Yeah, cool. Oh, yeah, wait. No, I forgot you have a brain. You can do it fine Oh, man, that's so heavy Man, I don't know you're gonna be able to do any tricks with this. This is gonna be this is interesting Let's find out. Yeah. So what what defines usable payload for me is can't since we're freestyle pilots Yeah, can I freestyle it? Can you do a roll? Can you do a flip? Can I do a power loop over this set of trees? Oh my gosh, do it over there. Yeah, it's just just think of it as a water bottle Is that it's heavy? No, right? You don't even have the battery on there yet I'm gonna put the first props the HQJ 40s that we tested back on That's what you're used to that's what I fly on an everyday basis. So that's what I fly on So that's what I'm gonna try to see what it can lift. Yeah, you don't want to try to experiment with something You're not familiar with. All right. So before we fly it. This is a drone. It's a lot heavier So it's gonna take crashes a lot harder. This is like a brick now. Oh my gosh with the battery This is so heavy. Yeah, is this even gonna fly? I mean, I assume it will. We just lifted 10 pounds. I don't know how we don't burn a motor to be honest Click take it out. There's nothing so loud All right, it sounds like it's struggling so hard. You're flying though, man. You're orbiting. All right. So I have my 50% throttle All right. Go over there. See if you can do a roll Let's just do a roll first Oh, did it? No big deal. Oh my gosh. It's so heavy. Oh, it's so heavy All right, do a back flip. Hey, no big deal. Yeah, that's all on the same axis. Oh, it's full throttle Hey, you did a freaking swiss. Oh, you did a swiss Is that your roll? A bany roll? What? I'm just like, I guess it's such a high throttle It feels like freestyling a sinew hoop except a little bit more underpowered. Nice Like you're still freestyling All right, power loop time. Power loop time. Oh, yeah, let's go power loop time. Then we'll go trippy spin time What should I power loop? Let's see There's all kinds of branches. Where's the power loop? I'll power loop this little tree right here Okay Oh It did it. Oh my gosh, but it did it. It did it Okay, so now let's see if I can trippy spin trippy spin. Oh, this is going to be hard Because trippy spin takes a lot of power already a trippy spin takes a lot of throw. No, I'm not gonna be able to do it No way. No ain't gonna happen. I'm gonna try it, of course Here we go trippy trippy trippy trippy No, oh this battery is so dead. It almost did it. It almost did it. Dead battery. Dead battery Like you didn't go straight down. Look at 12 volts. Yeah, let's try a new I just killed that battery. Yeah, that battery lasted so short too. Dang. Well, let's try another battery. Yeah, trippy spin Oh my god, it's so freaking This battery's done I need a new one for it. Catch. Oh, it's so puffy Oh my god, it's about to explode. This thing is actually it is about to blow up It is so mad. Oh, jeez. It's so angry It's like sizzling So if we were able to pull off a A roll a back flip a power loop. Yeah power loop front flip little flow knife edge gap Yeah, you got some knife edges. You got a couple of splituses in there. Yep. We almost got the trippy spin I mean, I you were upside down the bat Am I so the issue is I was flying the whole time my battery was just like nah Yeah, yes, he's kind of warm too That also it's just this is just putting so much strain on my drone Let's try a trippy spin with a fresh battery. I bet you can do it. I think so you can get it I could you pull it off Yeah, so I'm gonna play if you can do that then we'll try to go up to another another weight class Yeah, see what it can do with five pounds. I think with I honestly I guess my hypothesis right now with the with the five pound weight I can just do rolls and flips like that power loop dude. I was struggling so much. Yeah, I know you had to like Oh I still didn't even get that high. All right. Yeah. So all right. So let's go ahead and throw this drone up All right, so I'm just gonna go straight for the trippy. I'm not even gonna say anything All right, you're good launching. Here we go Go right for the trippy Dude, if you could do a trippy spin, that's impressive because that takes a lot of throttle right away Oh, you're doing it. You're doing it. Oh my god You did it like I did it I was like really trying to pull out and then I just hit the bush So it was like constantly just going down and now it's like stay up. Yeah, go go go So I guess we did it. We did the trippy I guess we'll just call that a fail on my part because I could have got out a little bit earlier Yeah, yeah, you uh, you got multiple rotations. I think that's that's a win there. Yeah, it's a win. So for sure So as of right now The drone can maximum lift is 10 pounds and it can and usable weight will call it three pounds Yeah, we'll just we'll just pretend like we're flying the tank because it's so heavy The tank's not really that heavy guys. It's not it's a joke. It's not that heavy. It's not that heavy like Okay, so now I'm gonna go get the drone But we're gonna put a two pound weight on there now So it's gonna be what's three plus two guys Can you tell me what three plus two it's math time the answer is math time I didn't take math class If this bush wasn't here, it would be fine. Oh, don't tell me it's like deep in the bush Oh, there it is. Oh, it's deep in the bush Pull up our pants Make sure there's no like spiders here Oh Oh, it smells like uh like nature Oh, man, we're good Didn't break anything Thank you bush for being soft on my drone Do you have any spiders on me? We're good. We're good. I do not like bugs Not me trying to get this thing to sand There we go It'll stabilize once it gets the throttle on there Sean you ready? I'm ready Here we go Oh my gosh. Oh, he did it. He did it. He did a roll. Do you have a flip? Oh, I ran to the Oh, that was the ultimate bottle flip. That was the ultimate bottle flip. Yes That was crazy So to recap it the maximum payload that we learned the drone can pull the five inch drone can pull is 10 pounds And the actual usable weight three pounds. Yep. Cool. And the maximum weight of five inch freestyle drone can freestyle is technically five pounds Because you did a freestyle trick. I did a freestyle trick. I did a roll. I did a roll. I did a roll All right, if you guys like this episode of road all right Make sure to hit the subscribe button and right next to it There's a bell click that so you can get don't forget the bell Yeah, don't forget the bell because we post every monday so you can get pinged when we post every monday It is actually a monday.
